A particular VB.NET project is actually throwing 'Build Failed' But when I try rebuilding again it says 'Rebuild Succeeded'. It keeps alternating this behavior. Kind of random. Any vbc.exe issue of long locking the PDB or xml files?

I've been googling around and was unable to find a solution. I already[code]...
Last night my project worked just fine. I left my system up overnight and came in this morning - my project is still on the screen, so there was no update/reboot or any of that. I added 6 lines of code, and suddenly get Build Failed. I removed those lines of code, and still get Build Failed. I restarted Visual Studio, and still get Build Failed. No Exception is ever thrown and no cause for a failed build is ever given. Output is set to Diagnostic, and it indicates nothing wrong or out of the ordinary - every task completes successfully right up to the end when it says Build Failed.

View 11 RepliesI am getting two errors
1) Cannot publish because a project failed to build.
2) An error occurred while signing: SignTool.exe not found.
Regarding #1, I can manually build and rebuild the application without error. I only get this error when I try to Publish.
Regarding #2, I looked in my SDKv3.5Bin directory and indeed the signtool was not there. In fact I only had 3 files (genasm.exe, genasm.exe.config, and hidpi.res). I copied the signtool.exe from the Visual Studio 2005, (file dated 10/26/2006), but I still get the same error saying it can not find the file.

I have a vb.net 2008 windows form application that I was just assigned to work on. how to maintain and test changes to both the pre build and the post build events? Can you tell me how to test these events? My postbuild event, I believe calls a project file in the solution file that wraps files together in a bundle in debug mode. Can you tell me how the posbuild event works and when it is called?
View 2 RepliesI am using 2008 Express Edition. I am trying to make a Release build instead of a Debug build.Under Tools->Options, Projects and Solutions->General - I checked Show advanced build configurations. The option to switch configurations does not show up in the IDE.
After this, I went to the Project Properties->Compile and switched the Configuration from Active(Debug) to Release.After building, I looked in my project directory, however only in the Debug sub-directory was the .exe and nothing in the Release sub-directory.I have used Visual C++ Express Edition, where I noticed that if you do not change to Release in the IDE than after changing to Release in properties, resets the project to the last configuration setting which is usually Debug.how to make the Debug/Release box available in the IDE, since Tools/Options does not make it show up?
I just created a simple application. I Builded that using build->build myapp. I got .exe of that application. i runned. all went fine. but when i closed that app, even after closing it is in memory. it is still running. how to deploy it properly?
View 12 RepliesI have some very simple questions about making a release build exe in vb.net using MS VB 2010 Express.
I realize that my project's executable is built in the bin/debug folder. However, when I copy this to any other location on my computer or someone else's, this executable does not function. I have read that I need to create a release build but in MS VB 2010 Express, when I use the Project-Properties menu and change the Compile tab configuration to Release and the path to binRelease, I still get the exe in the binDebug folder and not the binRelease folder.
1) Is it normal that exe's from the debug folder do not function outside of the debug folder?
2) Most importantly, if the release build produces a faster exe, could someone please explain step by step how to do this with MS VB 2010 Express ? I do not see any button on the compile tab in the project properties that actually builds the release.
I was able to build both debug and release versions of my VB code before now I no longer have the option to build a release version. How do I turn it back on
View 3 RepliesDear Sir,When I publish my package, i am getting the following error.
[Code]...
I think this can be solved by Changing the validity in the signing property of the package. But I'm not able to change this period.
So when i build or click debug on my program. No errors come up and its smooth. So i decide to publish my programme. However. I come up with a bunch of errors during the publishing.
Here they are:Error 1 Cannot publish because a project failed to build. 1 1 Simple CALC
Error 2 Unable to copy file "binReleaseSimple CALC.exe.manifest" to "binReleaseapp.publishApplication FilesSimple CALC_1_0_0_0Simple CALC.exe.manifest". The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
Now I did a clean build, and tried to publish, and I get a lot of errors and warnings that I don't understand.

View 1 RepliesI want to develop a DLL in VB.
How do I "expose" the Functions and Subs contained in the DLL such that they are accessible from another application ?
For example, in Fortran the "DLLEXPORT :: MyFunctionToBeAccessed" attribute is given after the declaration of the Function; it adds the name of the Function to a table at the beginning of the DLL, name which can be referenced after to access the functionnalities of the function in the DLL.
I am trying to troubleshoot a VB.NET project that contains UserControls (actually, several of them that are displaying the same issues). I am trying to get them to build under x64, but it is impossible. In x86 or AnyCPU, the UserControl builds and shows up in the Toolbox, so I can add or modify it in the forms that require it. In x64, the controls disappear from the Toolbox, I get warnings during build (the current project builds though), I can't see any of the forms - I get errors (please see below) - and projects that require the project with the form as an import will not build.
When I was studying what these UserControls are so that I can maybe rebuild them from scratch, I downloaded code from a book - great learning tool, but I get the same errors[code]...
Any explanation why a EXE in VS2005 would grow from 9MB to 17MB. The only thing changed between the 2 compiles as the adding of about 20 lines of code and an additional Crystal Report file (.rpt). The .rpt is about 8.5MB, but our understanding is that the .rpt doesn't get included in the EXE.
